Yes they do and they also get very annoyed about various criticisms that are made without people knowing all the facts e.g. complaints about member packs / tickets not being received when most of the time its because people havn't paid the extra for postage.
Oh the poor things. Suck it up boys, you wanted to be there. May I see proof tht members didn't pay for postage please? That is a pithy, weak excuse and stinks of being an Irvnism
I have no problem whinging about the club if its warranted. I did so with Mr Johnston the other day. But in relation to some points you made:
Shorts sponsor - we have one. Should of qualified that as back of no shorts sponsor
Major sponsor - incentives for finals finishes is nothing out of the ordinary and all teams have this in their contracts. To say we get SFA for not making the finals is just plain wrong. Is it? How much are we getting then samshark? You always seem to know it all.
Crowd - Not too bad considering our odds and the thunderstorms that came down an hour and a half before. Did you look at Penrith's crowd?
Don't give a fugg about Penrith's crowd. Not even relevant. The Sharks traditionally always get a decent crowd for game 1 whatever the weather. In fact it has rained for the first game at Shark Park for the last 4 years. Don't try and sell me any re connect rubbish because it hasn't happned

Specifics Frenzy specifics. Isnt that what you said.
Plenty there now
Are we not better off under this current board?
No and if you say we are give me tangibles, proof and a current financial statement. Don't give me Vossy style unconditional love and hand me down quotes from the spin doctors either. Give me a list of what's been done by each individual and how what they have one has benefitted. Potential doesn't count either
Have things not improved in all areas?
No
You want Barry and co. back or do you just want the club to fold so you could then shove it up the chairman.
I was always of the belief we were better with the devil knew so I would of preferred the last board stayed. Change for change sake was never going to be good.
John Osborne agrees with me it seems.
I don't particularly want the club to fold. I just don't care if they are unsuccessful under this regime and if given a chance to stick it up the chairman then happy days AFAIC. Being the only board chairman to stick his ugly melon all over marketting gear and websites does not make him a doer. Just highlights the self esteem issues the man has always had.
